The Labor Market Impacts of Forced Migration
利用坦桑尼亚Kagera地区1990年代因地理障碍导致的难民自然实验,发现难民冲击降低了当地人外出受雇的概率,但受冲击较大的雇员更可能从事专业工作并享有养老金。
During the 1990s the Kagera region of Tanzania experienced a forced migration shock. A series of geographical barriers led to a higher concentration of forced migrants in some parts of the region relative to others, resulting in a natural experiment. Using panel data (pre and post forced migration shock), we find that greater exposure to the refugee shock resulted in Tanzanians having a lower likelihood of working outside the household as employees. However, employees more affected by the shock had a higher probability of being in professional occupations and being part of a pensions program.
